As a 'Nam vet, I'm more than aware of what the POWs went through in North VN.
Nevertheless, I just finished ... ... which focused on the top 10-12 senior POW leaders in the Hanoi Hilton, including Admiral Denton.
Still makes me so angry I'm ready to go back for some payback.
RIP Admiral, you are a TRUE American hero.

In early 1977 I first got to my ship I noticed a man walking down the passageway. His shoulder were kinda slumped as if from an injury. One of the guys said here comes the Captain. After he had passed a shipmate told me about him. Captain was shot down in 1967 over Nam and spent the duration as a POW. He wasn't bitter about it or if so the crew never knew it. He was one you could look at though when everything was getting to you and say if he could take what he did I can take doing my obligation.

Like Admiral Denton the Captain made Rear Admiral and we got to see it deservingly pinned on him at change of command. Robert B Fuller was his name.

Denton, Fuller, and others like them who stood by our nation at all cost are American Hero's who deserve notice in history such.

While these sailor and their fellow POW's were getting the snot beat out of them and tortured our current low life Sec of State was giving aid and comfort to our enemy. Kerry deserves to go down as a Communist Sympathizing Traitor. Such as he should have been barred from ever holding public office or any government employment.
